Breast Implant
Breast Implant is a term used in breast medicine and oncology to describe a defined anatomical structure, physiological process, clinical finding, disease, investigation, or treatment concept.
Within breast medicine and oncology, Breast Implant has a distinct meaning that helps clinicians communicate a particular aspect of diagnosis, disease behavior, body function or treatment.
The manifestations linked with breast implant depend on the affected tissue and underlying mechanism, ranging from mild or asymptomatic changes to clinically important dysfunction.
To clarify breast implant, clinicians select investigations according to the suspected mechanism; these may include blood or urine tests, imaging, endoscopy, tissue sampling, physiological measurements or specialist assessment.
Management of breast implant is directed at its cause and clinical impact, with options potentially including observation, preventive measures, medicines, procedures, rehabilitation, surgery or multidisciplinary treatment.
Because breast implant can have different implications in different patients, a clinician should interpret the finding alongside examination results, investigations and relevant risk factors.
